In episode 167, I sit down with actor, writer, director, and producer Steven Grayhm to dig into the 14-year journey behind his new movie Sheepdog and why truthful storytelling about veterans and combat trauma cannot afford to be filtered through a political lens. From his first encounter with a struggling tow truck driver in 2011 to years embedded with veterans, families, and VA clinicians, Steven shares how listening without prejudice became the foundation of this film and why he refused to “bend the knee” to Hollywood to get it made. Sheepdog is not another war movie or PTSD cliché but a deeply human story about post-traumatic growth, fragmented families, and the way ordinary people carry extraordinary burdens. Throughout our conversation, we challenge the idea that stories about war, veterans, and mental health should serve any party, policy, or culture-war narrative, and argue aggressively that they must exist to serve the people who actually lived them — period.  We unpack how character, craft, and performance can honor veterans and Gold Star families without turning them into propaganda pieces or pity objects, and why audiences deserve movies and podcasts that tell the truth as we see it, even when that truth is messy, uncomfortable, or unflattering to anyone's politics.  If you care about actors doing the work, about movies that respect the veteran community, and about storytelling that refuses to be weaponized, this episode will give you a clear, uncompromising case for art that chooses honesty over agenda every single time.

In this episode of the Data Center Frontier Show, we sit down with Ryan Mallory, the newly appointed CEO of Flexential, following a coordinated leadership transition in October from Chris Downie. Mallory outlines Flexential's strategic focus on the AI-driven future, positioning the company at the critical "inference edge" where enterprise CPU meets AI GPU. He breaks down the AI infrastructure boom into a clear three-stage build cycle and explains why the enterprise "killer app"—Agentic AI—plays directly into Flexential's strengths in interconnection and multi-tenant solutions. We also dive into: Power Strategy: How Flexential's modular, 36-72 MW build strategy avoids community strain and wins utility favor. Product Roadmap: The evolution to Gen 5 and Gen 6 data centers, blending air and liquid cooling for mixed-density AI workloads. The Bold Bet: Mallory's vision for the next 2-3 years, which involves "bending the physics curve" with geospatial energy and transmission to overcome terrestrial limits. Tune in for a insightful conversation on power, planning, and the future of data center infrastructure.

After many years of zooming in to my class, Rod Bremby is finally here in person! Former health secretary for the state of Kansas, commissioner of the department of social services for Connecticut, and vice president of digital transformation for the global public sector at Salesforce; Rod shares his reflections on the revolving door of public and private sector work. He was fired for turning down a coal fired power plant in Kanses, received an award for taking CT SNAP "from worst to first" through his unique change management approach, and led the Salesforce public private partnerships for multiple states and nations during COVID-19. Most recently his work centers on how AI can help drive impact at scale by freeing up health and social workers to spend more time coaching their patients and customers to succes.

We just watched The Last Spark of Hope on Amazon, and it's one of the weirdest, most visually impressive post-apocalyptic films we've seen. The story follows Eva, possibly the last human alive, trapped outside her compound by her guardian robot Arthur, a machine programmed not to harm humans, but also incapable of saving her or bending the rules to help.Arthur's logic becomes both a lifeline and a prison: it won't kill Eva, but it also won't act to prevent her death, and watching this robot navigate the rules of (in)humanity is equal parts frustrating and fascinating. The film's depiction of rigid AI programming as a metaphor for broken bureaucracy is confusing, sometimes slow, but deeply thought-provoking. Some moments don't add up, how can a robot refuse to help but not intervene to save a life? Still, every frame looks amazing, with cinematography and practical effects that punch above the film's indie budget.Were you as baffled by Arthur's inaction as we were? Did you love the visual style but got thrown by the story? Let's talk sci-fi ethics, bad logic, and whether a robot's programming should ever outweigh human survival.

IPS DEPROGRAM “history bending”This episode explores the concept of "history bending," arguing that major historical events are meticulously pre-planned psychological operations, or "psyops," orchestrated by a powerful entity referred to as the "PsyopEntertainment Complex." These staged events are allegedly foreshadowed and reinforced through mass media, including movies, video games, and news cycles, which are used to condition the public to accept a fabricated consensus worldview. The speaker posits that this system creates a "worldview monopoly," where both mainstream and alternative media exist within the same "closed system" or "echo chamber," ensuring that challenging perspectives remain on pre-paved rabbit trails instead of escaping the constructed reality. The overall message advocates for an "off-world stage perspective," encouraging listeners to become "informed disbelievers" who recognize media as a tool for conformity rather than information.That's a great request, focusing on the core ideas expressed in the source material. The speaker uses very specific terminology to describe the current media environment and historical manipulation.Here are five quotes that capture key aspects of the analysis presented:"And history is pretty much collective agreement, lies agreed upon. Media is now lies agreed upon." This quote establishes the premise that history is a consensus of agreed-upon narratives, much like media. This agreement is seen as contentious, yet people generally agree on "the big things," which is the pattern that matters."Forget about the military-industrial complex. That's just a a feature of the movie. It's the Psyop entertainment complex. That's the real force in the world today." The speaker posits that the true force shaping the world is not traditional military might, but the "subtle force of total worldview warfare" conducted through the Psyop Entertainment Complex (Psychological Operations Entertainment Complex)."It's not just retroactive, but that history is in fact proactive now and it is being proactively created through the means of mass media psychological operations." This highlights the central concept of "history bending," arguing that the current world view is contaminated by fakery because history is not merely a "varnished version of what happened," but is actively manufactured in advance through mass media psychological operations."The media is a liar and it has an ulterior purpose. It's not just there to inform us, but rather to conform us to a prefabricated worldview." This summarizes the function of the media as viewed from the off-world stage perspective: its purpose is to create a consensus worldview on a global scale, making it tantamount to a religion due to its incontestable power structure."what I advocate here is taking the position of the informed disbeliever." This quote defines the ideal stance for engaging with the media environment. It involves not consuming news as consumers do, but watching how others consume it and understanding how they are being "programmed" or conditioned to accept the program (the list of future fake events).

Physics has been full of astonishing discoveries over the past century. But they open up even bigger mysteries that scientists are working feverishly to explain. What is dark energy? And why is the expansion of the universe accelerating? In public talks at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario, two prominent physicists – Sarah Shandera of Penn State University and Stanford University's Savas Dimopoulos – discuss the breakthroughs of recent decades and what it will take to solve the most nettlesome mysteries that have deepened in their wake.

With six interconnected stories (in a narrative style that broke all kinds of new ground), it's hard not to find at least a few characters you love.

Post Malone BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Post Malone has occupied headlines this week for his blockbuster performance as the headliner at the 52nd annual Dallas Cattle Baron's Ball on October 25, where he energized a sold-out crowd of 3,500 at Southfork Ranch despite heavy rain earlier in the day. The event, which is recognized as the world's largest single-night fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, marked a distinct shift to a younger audience and edgier vibe, courtesy of Malone's crossover appeal and country hits like Pour Me a Drink and I Had Some Help. Between energetic renditions of Sunflower, Rockstar, Congratulations, and more, Malone maintained his trademark candor, dropping countless f-bombs, clutching a Red Solo Cup, and shouting out his North Texas roots, the ball's mission, and the Dallas Cowboys. Social media lit up with praise for his authenticity and warmth, with fans highlighting his connection to the local community and charitable efforts, and outlets like Parade dubbing him a national treasure.Beyond the benefit concert, Post's presence has been especially visible on social platforms thanks to a viral video of him serenading a young fan, which Parade reported melted hearts and sparked conversations about his kindness. In the past few days, his reputation as one of the industry's friendliest stars has only grown, with many fans urging that "Posty should be protected at all costs." Further supporting this perception were comments from his father assuring the public of his son's well-being after a wave of internet concern about weight loss; Post himself confirmed to TMZ and other outlets that he's healthy and happy, attributing his slimmed-down look to a strict fitness regimen after a movie role, not substance abuse.On the business side, no major new ventures or product launches have been announced this week according to Spreaker, but Universal Music Group included Post Malone among their top sellers for the year, citing his music as a key driver of industry growth for 2025. His single Sunflower with Swae Lee quietly hit another milestone, surpassing 4 billion Spotify streams, as reported by World Music Views. Anticipation for Posty's next moves is high: Activated Events revealed on November 7 that he and Jelly Roll will headline the upcoming Boots In The Park festival in Albuquerque, signaling his continued genre-bending dominance in both pop and country. Meanwhile, industry insiders point to his latest studio album F-1 Trillion, his sustained tour activity, and a recent Oreo cookie collaboration as further signs of Malone's unstoppable ascent and business acumen. Overall, in terms of long-term biographical impact, Post Malone's fusion of mass appeal, philanthropy, and genre-crossing ambition continues to cement his legacy as one of the defining artists and personalities of this era.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

In this intimate exchange, Baya and Lewis dive into the quiet courage it takes to say no without guilt and to believe that you'll still be okay when you do. She reminds us that real love isn't earned through contortion or compromise, it's built on alignment, truth, and the safety of being fully seen.What begins as a conversation about romantic boundaries unfolds into something deeper — a reflection on friendship, self-worth, and emotional honesty. Baya shares how lifelong friendships anchor her when everything else shifts, and Lewis opens up about his own recent journey of redefining what healthy relationships look like. Together, they explore the idea that outgrowing people doesn't mean failure, it means you're finally growing into yourself.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, I chat with Lily, a first-time mom who was preparing for life with one baby—until the ultrasound revealed twins. Eight and a half months later, she's still learning to bend with the chaos, find her center in the exhaustion, and embrace the version of motherhood she never expected.Lily opens up about the emotional whiplash of going from imagining life with one newborn to suddenly preparing for two. She shares the honest truth behind the picture-perfect twin mom moments we see online—the sleepless nights, the identity shift, the overwhelm no one prepares you for, and the quiet fear of “Am I really cut out for this?”We talk about postpartum emotions that don't get enough airtime, why patience became her survival skill, and how her mom's simple advice—“bend, don't break”—became her anchor in the hardest moments. We also explore what it really takes to stay present through the noise: releasing expectations, accepting help, and finding joy in the tiny, messy moments of connection.This episode is for any parent who's ever felt stretched thin, outnumbered, or unsure—but kept showing up anyway.EPISODE THEMES

The Spanish-born singer, songwriter and producer Pablopablo recently released his debut LP, but he'd already built up an impressive array of writing and producing credits, winning Latin Grammys back in 2022 under his given name, Pablo Drexler. Those awards were for his work on a collaboration between his father, the popular Uruguayan-born musician Jorge Drexler, and the Spanish superstar C.

John welcomes Rahm Emanuel—former Democratic Illinois congressman, White House chief of staff, mayor of Chicago, U.S. ambassador to Japan, and likely 2028 presidential candidate—to discuss the lessons of the Jimmy Kimmel conniption; how the broadcast networks could band together to beat back Donald Trump's regulatory and legal campaign against them; and the strategy and tactics his party should employ in the battle over shutting down the government. Rahm also flays congressional Republicans for putting their "manhood in a lockbox" when it comes to Trump, and challenge Wall Street's titans to take him on over his efforts to undermine the Fed.

From September 12, 2024: Without new congressional authorization for its post-Oct. 7 operations in the Middle East, the Biden administration has sought to legally justify its military activities in the region based on the president's constitutional authority and the application of existing statutory authorities to operations against new adversaries. These executive branch arguments are the outgrowth of similar arguments presidential administrations have made over the last few decades, largely related to the requirements in the War Powers Resolution. The International Crisis Group recently analyzed these arguments and related issues in a new report, “Bending the Guardrails: U.S. War Powers after 7 October.” Tyler McBrien and Matt Gluck of Lawfare spoke with Brian Finucane, a senior adviser for the U.S. Program at the International Crisis Group and an author of the report, and Matthew Waxman, a professor at Columbia Law School, about the Crisis Group's report. They discussed the history relevant to the current war powers moment, how the Biden administration has continued to justify its operations without new legislative authority, and the possibility of war powers legal reform moving forward.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Five weeks ago, I could barely sit without pain. Bending over to brush my teeth required a strategic plan involving core activation and glute squeezing. Sneezing meant grabbing onto furniture for dear life. Today? I'm sitting comfortably having this conversation with my neurosurgeon about why disc replacement surgery changed everything.  In this episode, join me and Dr. Jared Ament as we dive deep into the world of motion-preserving spine surgery. You'll discover why spinal fusion became the "standard of care" (hint: it wasn't because it was the best option), how disc replacement technology has evolved to achieve 96% success rates, and why insurance companies still call a procedure with 20+ years of data "experimental." Dr. Ament reveals the shocking truth about why most surgeons don't offer disc replacement, the real recovery differences between fusion and motion preservation, and what actually happens when you go "through the stomach" for spine surgery. We also tackle the controversial emotional vs. mechanical pain debate, discuss when stem cells actually help (and when they don't), and explore why chronic NSAID use might be sabotaging your healing. Whether you or a loved one suffer from degenerative disc disease, bulging or ruptured discs, this episode is packed with valuable insights from both a patient's and a surgeon's perspective. Also, discover the benefits of nootropics in surgical recovery and daily cognitive function.    Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Dr. Jared Ament:   Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/drjaredament Website ➜ https://www.nsg-la.com/  Episode Links: Consult ➜ Reach out to:  office@nsg-la.com   Axon Mastermind ➜ www.AxonMd.com  For the episode Natalie referenced on a Genius Life go to: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-genius-life/id1379050662?i=1000698582182   Thank you to our show sponsors!
